The Celebration Bowl is akin to having two HS freshmen teams square off in a fancy venue and calling it a big deal.

The winner of the Celebration Bowl and MEAC Champion, NC A&T beat East Carolina this season and I believe was a GREAT Team! If you dislike the game so much Don't Watch it!

Public HBCU have had to sue their respective state governments to get the equitable resources. I am proud of the Celebration Bowl. By the way there are several regular season games that have huge attedance among HBCU.

They have outlived their usefulness by nearly 4 decades and should all be ended tomorrow and replaced with a 24 team FBS playoff. FCS (and Div II and Div III) have it right. Why would they extend a bastardized version of ridiculous bowls in opposition to the existing playoff structure?

Bowls aren't outdated, they work best in football and give people up north an extra motive to head down south. Bowls as a way of impacting/determining the national title is far outdated by no less than half a century.

Why do we need more Yankees down here? Got plenty as it is. In North Carolina we call them "halfbacks", because they only made it halfway back home from visiting Florida.

A bit sensitive for no real reason. How dare I use the dreaded "Y-word"? Oh, the humanity!
